Now when trying to install I get the error 0x80300001 - Cannot install to the current location.
I think this might be due to the install.wim being larger than 4GB. However: this is only Vista Ultimate with SP1 + updates integrated...

Would it work if I would split the install.wim? Or does that not work?

You can remove things with Vlite , like the languages.
Didnt try to slip a wim yet.

If you export the image you need to edit and update to a new wim and just have only one image to work with this will cut your wim by 1GB or so and will make it eAsier to update. After finished just add the other images to the new wim 1 by 1 untill you have all the images updated. Also try to do your servicing on a XP system as xp is quicker running with windows aik. As for the problems with iso see waik docs for oscdimg.exe, if my memory serves me right there is a switch for iso over 4GB.

I only have one image that I update. It's a Vista Ultimate only DVD that I am using.
Muiz's tip of taking out the languages really helped though. After taking some other stuff out, my install.wim is now around 3.8GB, which is perfect. In total, my .iso (only for testing in VMWare) is now 5.8GB (including apps and such). Gonna test tonight if it works.

I have to add: a .wim of more than 4GB is not possible for me to use, as I want to install Vista from a USB drive. Some sites on the internet say that the USB drive has to be formatted in FAT32 for that, so a 4GB+ file cannot fit on there.
Maybe (but I'm not sure about that), it will also work with an NTFS formatted USB drive, but I haven't found any proof of that yet.
And as VMWare refuses to boot from USB (at least: for me), the only way to test my install is by creating an ISO of it first.

This is how I did (and do) it:
1. Integrate SP1 into Vista with vLite
2. Created an ISO out of this (after testing) so I can use that as "base" package
3. Use Vista-Tool to integrate hotfixes
4. Use vLite to remove unnecessary stuff from Vista (language packs, search, some other big and useless stuff)
5. Use Vista-Tool to create ISO

WAIK is needed as it seems to me that Vista Tool (and vLite?) use components from it to be able to integrate into it.

Do this packs works with any language of windows vista? I tried to integrate it in a Brazilian x64 Ultimate DVD (using vista-tool) and when i instaled it in a virtual machine, almost all the hotfixes werent integrated.

I uncompressed all the content of the files in the folder HOTFIXES, and the system take a long time to integrade.

Could someone refresh my mind and tell me what files i need to backup from a fresh install (and pun in my Install,wim) so my Languages are set as hidden in Windows update.
Muiz you maybe??? incl. the KB...410?
Thats all

I read earlier that these driver packs and updates don't work well with vlite. Is this still the case? If so, could someone please explain why and how? Also, what's the difference between the Vista Post-SP1 WinUpdate Pack and the Vista Post-SP1 WinUpdate Pack Plus, aside from the obvious size differences?
Thanks. I'm pretty excited about these resources and tools.

All packs have a content list, so you can see whats inside.
And the updates will also work with Vlite, exept for the drivers.
Vlite doesnt handle driver integration very well, wich will result in popups during the Vista setup.
So we dont support/discus Vlite here.

Thanks for clarifying. I have experienced this issue you speak of.

Sorry. Obviously I am new here so if I have unintentionally breached some rules of etiquette I am sorry.

BTW, there are 2 new fixes for Media Center. Dunno if they overwrite ones in your packs:KB959485: A recorded TV show plays back only audio after you install update 955519 for Windows Media Center on a Windows Vista-based computer that is configured to use digital cable card tunersKB957209: Update for the Windows Media Center TV Pack for Windows Vista: December 4, 2008

From this thread I assume all these updates have to happen from within Vista itself? It is not possible to do this from XP? As XP Is currently my base OS on my system it would be nice to be able to do that .

You may certainly build your source with the required tools in an XP enviroment.

dwire, we already know his packs, and his website. Just its not nice to post it again in this topic. he has a topic on this forum too, just please dont post things like this again. Everybody is free to choose from the packs...

As must be obvious, over a period of quite some time (I had switched my registered username...) around Ryan's forum, I was completely unaware of there being any reference to that source nor could I find it here. Yes, it indeed is redundant to post a link if that forum is somehow linked here or if there is a thread that contains packs from that board that I was and continue to be unaware of on the RyanVM Discussion Board. My apologies, and I will delete the post myself.

As for you response:

"dwire, we already know his packs, and his website. Just its not nice to post it again in this topic. he has a topic on this forum too, just please dont post things like this again. Everybody is free to choose from the packs..."

I would like to thank you for being so polite and tactful; besides you could have just as easily deleted the post and politely mentioned that information is available here; albeit it was either not present some time back or obscure enough then as it appears now as I still cannot find what you are referencing here...

*EDIT*

SORRY MUIZ, the topic became for a fleeting moment you not being so friendly to me here. Once again my apologies... BTW, apparently I am not the only one unable to find reference to the now removed resource I mentioned as I have been PM'd about it, and that post was up all of about five minutes; or however long it took for you to snap at me... And yes, I know all about making forum posts a mess as I am pretty confident I have been doing this longer than 99% of the users here (pre-WWW or PC...) This would have all been simpler if as a Moderator is you would have followed my request and deleted my post and sent me a PM; I also would not have been compelled to post this sort of ridiculous garbage either - a first for me.

Happy Holidays.

I want to add ultimate extras also my dvd..in readme you say create a folder called EXTRAS..but there is no option for path on vista tools for this..it means if we create a folder called EXTRAS and add update for vista ultimate extras, and after when we select image 4(ultimate) does it check folder called EXTRAS automatically and add them?
